2009-12-25resolve-undo: teach "update-index --unresolve" to use resolve-undo infoLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+12
The update-index plumbing command had a hacky --unresolve implementation that was written back in the days when merge was the only way for users to end up with higher stages in the index, and assumed that stage #2 must have come from HEAD, stage #3 from MERGE_HEAD and didn't bother to compute the stage #1 information. There were several issues with this approach: - These days, merge is not the only command, and conflicts coming from commands like cherry-pick, "am -3", etc. cannot be recreated by looking at MERGE_HEAD; - For a conflict that came from a merge that had renames, picking up the same path from MERGE_HEAD and HEAD wouldn't help recreating it, either; - It may have been Ok not to recreate stage #1 back when it was written, because "diff --ours/--theirs" were the only availble ways to review conflicts and they don't need stage #1 information. "diff --cc" that was invented much later is a lot more useful way but it needs stage #1. We can use resolve-undo information recorded in the index extension to solve all of these issues.

2009-12-25resolve-undo: allow plumbing to clear the informationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
At the Porcelain level, operations such as merge that populate an initially cleanly merged index with conflicted entries clear the resolve-undo information upfront. Give scripted Porcelains a way to do the same, by implementing "update-index --clear-resolve-info". With this, a scripted Porcelain may "update-index --clear-resolve-info" first and repeatedly run "update-index --cacheinfo" to stuff unmerged entries to the index, to be resolved by the user with "git add" and stuff.

If verification of path failed, it is always better to print an error message saying this than relying on the caller function to print a meaningful error message (especially when the callee already prints error message for another situation). Because the callers of add_index_entry_with_check() did not print any error message, it resulted that the user would not notice the problem when checkout of an invalid path failed.

2008-01-21Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core oneLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-9/+9
This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be simpler. In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields. This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do not exist in the on-disk format. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-09-18Drop strbuf's 'eof' marker, and make read_line a first class citizen.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-4/+4
read_line is now strbuf_getline, and is a first class citizen, it returns 0 when reading a line worked, EOF else. The ->eof marker was used non-locally by fast-import.c, mimic the same behaviour using a static int in "read_next_command", that now returns -1 on EOF, and avoids to call strbuf_getline when it's in EOF state. Also no longer automagically strbuf_release the buffer, it's counter intuitive and breaks fast-import in a very subtle way. Note: being at EOF implies that command_buf.len == 0.

2007-09-14Simplify cache APILibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+0
Earlier, add_file_to_index() invalidated the path in the cache-tree but remove_file_from_cache() did not, and the user of the latter needed to invalidate the entry himself. This led to a few bugs due to missed invalidate calls already. This patch makes the management of cache-tree less error prone by making more invalidate calls from lower level cache API functions. The rules are: - If you are going to write the index, you should either maintain cache_tree correctly. - If you cannot, alternatively you can remove the entire cache_tree by calling cache_tree_free() before you call write_cache(). - When you modify the index, cache_tree_invalidate_path() should be called with the path you are modifying, to discard the entry from the cache-tree structure. - The following cache API functions exported from read-cache.c (and the macro whose names have "cache" instead of "index") automatically call cache_tree_invalidate_path() for you: - remove_file_from_index(); - add_file_to_index(); - add_index_entry(); You can modify the index bypassing the above API functions (e.g. find an existing cache entry from the index and modify it in place). You need to call cache_tree_invalidate_path() yourself in such a case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It's some kind of miracle though. * Add size extension hints for strbuf_init and strbuf_read.

2007-08-10Fix "git commit directory/" performance anomalyLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+8
This trivial patch avoids re-hashing files that are already clean in the index. This mirrors what commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe did for "git add .", only for "git commit ." instead. This improves the cold-cache case immensely, since we don't need to bring in all the file contents, just the index and any files dirty in the index. Before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit . real 1m49.537s user 0m3.892s sys 0m2.432s After: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit . real 0m14.273s user 0m1.312s sys 0m0.516s (both after doing a "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to get cold-cache behaviour - even with the index optimization git still has to "lstat()" all the files, so with a truly cold cache, bringing all the inodes in will take some time).

2007-04-12Teach git-update-index about gitlinksLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-62/+138
I finally got around to looking at Alex' patch to teach update-index about gitlinks too, so that "git commit -a" along with any other explicit update-index scripts can work. I don't think there was anything wrong with Alex' patch, but the code he patched I felt was just so ugly that the added cases just pushed it over the edge. Especially as I don't think that patch necessarily did the right thing for a gitlink entry that already existed in the index, but that wasn't actually a real git repository in the working tree (just an empty subdirectory or a non-git snapshot because it hadn't wanted to track that particular subproject). So I ended up deciding to clean up the git-update-index handling the same way I tackled the directory traversal used by git-add earlier: by splitting the different cases up into multiple smaller functions, and just making the code easier to read (and adding more comments about the different cases). So this replaces the old "process_file()" with a new "process_path()" function that then just calls out to different helper functions depending on what kind of path it is. Processing a nondirectory ends up being just one of the simpler cases. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-04-03_GIT_INDEX_OUTPUT: allow plumbing to output to an alternative index file.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv, read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding the lock on the index. However, I think the interface to let an environment variable specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation. If a curious user has the environment variable set to something other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named file, to prevent stupid mistakes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-03-02Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-3/+3
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic link, it is impossible to check out the working copy. This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in the database (as long as an entry exists in the index). Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

This delays the error exit from hold_lock_file_for_update() in update-index, so that "update-index --refresh" in a read-only repository can still report what paths are stat-dirty before exiting. Also it makes -q to squelch the error message. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
